POR-15 is a rust preventative coating. It can be applied directly to rust. If you wish to convert the rust beforehand I advise an actual converter like Naval Jelly or Marine Clean, but it's not necessary. The POR-15 works because it forms a chemical bond with the rust, and provides a moisture-proof barrier - without moisture there is no rust.

you could use a rust converter but as with any rust converter make sure you knock off the loose rust first then paint after the rust converter is on.

Alrighty, I appreciate the input, CF always comes through.

I'll post a few pictures of the process and the finished ordeal so you guys can laugh at my unprofessionalism haha!
